I was supposed to have salad for dinner…well that didn’t work out. This recipe is sooooo good. If you are looking for a change from the same old pepperoni and mushroom…you have to try this. The picture does not do this dish justice. My husband borrowed my camera so this was taken with my blackberry – so not the best quality shot. Tonight is the last night before the boys are back to school. We were out and about today shopping for last minute school stuff and I decided I would make homemade pizzas tonight for supper. I found this idea for toppings on another blog called shutterbean. I will include…

Soup’s On! – my first attempt at Borscht
I really made a mess of my kitchen this morning….let’s just say 1 broken crockpot….beet juice splashing….yep..I should really clean up. First be warned…although my photos are really not that spectactular to begin with..my husband has my camera today…so no pictures – sorry folks! School starts Monday here (Hooray!). My boys are at the point where I believe they are starting to get on eachothers nerves, and so lately I have felt like a referee..let’s just say I will be happy for them to be back to routine again. I also start a new career this fall – this will be interesting, since I have not worked for about 6…

Veggie Burgers in Pita’s with Tzatziki
I was excited to get a copy of Gwyneth Paltrow’s new cookbook “My Father’s Daughter” last week upon reccomendation from a friend. It is a great book if you are in to simple, healthy recipes. Tried out my first recipe from the book tonight which I tweaked, just a little. They were great. After a busy summer of socializing, eating and drinking I tend to always try to eat healthier near the end of summer beginning of fall (since all my clothes begin to fit rather tightly). Of course my boys truly frowned at the idea of veggie burgers…so these were just for me (and my husband if I can…

Strawberry Honeyberry Jam
What a great day! Checked out a Berry Farm close to our house, for some berry picking with the boys. We picked Strawberries and Honeyberries….so absolutely delish! The strawberries were so sweet and it was such a great experience for the kids. The place we went does not use pesticides which is great too. Once we had all the berries home (the ones that made it here anyway) – not sure how many strawberries the boys devoured on the ride home. Eating strawberries like this really makes you realize how crappy the grocery store strawberries really are. This is only the second time I have made jam and I the…

Tuna Loins with Sesame Dressing
The picture doesn’t do this dish much credit. It was so good, and so quick and easy to make. You could have a healthy supper on the table in 15 minutes…I swear. This dish requires shashimi grade tuna (if you can find it) so that you can leave the centre nice and rare. It only takes a few minutes to cook the dish. I seasoned my tuna loins with Montreal Steak Seasoning and then seared in a nice hot pan in some olive oil. Once finished place the tuna steak on top of some nice organic mixed greens, and drizzle with the sesame dressing. The dressing is really good, don’t…
